Public bug reported: While copying large files (i.e. >500MB) the window displaying the data transfer status, or progress, is totally wrong.
Using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit. When I copy a 592MB file to a USB 2.0 flash drive formatted to NTFS the transfer status climbs very fast then finishes and closes, all within a couple seconds which is too fast. Then I use udisksctrl command to unmount the USB drive, and although the window displaying the USB shows it change to unmounted, the terminal cursor just hangs for a couple minutes then finally outputs the "Unmounted" message once the file finishes copying. When copying the same file to a different USB 2.0 flash, formatted to FAT32, the status jumps immediately to i.e. 586 MB of 592 MB and hangs there for a couple minutes then closes when the transfer is done. At least this shows the file operation is still in progress, even if it appears frozen. I've tried this several times on two different machines (desktop & laptop) running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit, and the problem is always the same as described above. On another machine running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32-bit the transfer progress is displayed correctly, gradually climbing then closing the window when finished. Also, when transferring from the USB drives to the host machine the progress works fine in all cases. The problems only occur when transferring to the external USB drives.
